Bell....

Was it unreasonable when adrian Peterson got it at 30? Snd it's not unreasonable. Someone will pay bell that money. Just not the Steelers and he and his camp is obviously ok with that.

 

he is a huge risk for that cash. That's pretty much it. 2 blown knees, 1 suspension, his YPC dipped AND we have had him since 2013, not once have we been close to #1 in offense. He wants AB $ and guaranteed cash too.

he is not even the best RB anymore, his takeoff speed is slower than molasses. He is a great receiving back, great at blocking, but not worth 17m, or 15m, or 13, not even 12... lol

 

Did Bell get a new Tattoo?

 

Why was he first team all pro last yr and voted as a top 5 player by his peers?

 

Let me state this. If I was an owner I probably wouldnt give him all that money I would have signed him to a 2 year 30 million dollar contract and then looked elsewhere. But my thing is I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM with leveon trying to get his money and wanting to go elsewhere because he believes he isnt being fairly compensated.

 

because he is a damn good player, but for the money he wants I will continue finding negatives lol.

AB is worth that money. Ben is worth that money. Bell is not. 2014 Bell is not. Adrian Peterson in his prime is not. Barry sanders in his prime... ok I'm getting out of hand. I would pay Prime barry

 

I think he's worth a 2 year 30 million dollar deal.

 

And he would turn it down and tell you he feels he isn’t fairly compensated.

 

the fact that steelers aren't meeting his "demands" makes me feel like he is gonna say he is "disrespected" then demand a couple million more lol

 

I seriously doubt that if the deal was fully guranteed... he wants that guranteed money which pitt is only offering 10 of it.

 

you tell me this. We sign bell for what he wants. We run bell to the ground because you know Tomlin will do so. Gets hurt again. We get killed in the playoffs with no bell. then come 2 years we owe a lump of cash to a dead horse lol

 

Gurley just got 4 year 60 million with 45 guaranteed lol

 

So blame the steelers. Not bell..

 

So Gurley gets 60 mil. We offered Bell 70 mil and it wasnt good enough. Nice!! Gurley gets $45 mil guaranteed, but Bell would have made $45 over the first 3 years.

 

How do you figure that?

 

Because he obviously would be able to get the money he wants or close to it on the market so therefore he does have a right to not want just 10 million gurnateed when Gurley who has had 1 great season, a very sub par season, and a pretty good rookie season with an injury history.

 

Gurley got guaranteed $45, but Bell was offered $45 over the first 3 years. Gurley got more up front, but Bells deal was front loaded. Over 3 years both deals are the same. Bell has had one fully healthy season. He has either been injured or suspended every other year. This is fully on Bell. Steelers looking pretty good here if you ask me.

 

yup. bell is a crazy risk. not sure why analyst98 doesn't understand that.

Bell also has Ben and Brown

hill doesn't
gurley doesn't
zeke doesn't

lol

 

Do you not understand that in any of those 3 years the steelers can cut bell and he doesnt see all that money. Why the hell would he risk that sheisty as the nfl is and then of top of that the steelers not showing much confidence in him by only giving him 10 million guranteed. He may as well continued to play on the franchise tag the point of the long term deal was for him to get the guranteed money.

 

Was he guranteed to be on the steelers roster for the next 3 years?

 

Ummm before Goff played like he did last yr Gurley was BAD the year before. So um his offense did make a difference for him. And Zeke the year he looked his best had dez bryant still playing at a pretty good level. Not ab level of course and dak his rookie year had one of the beat rookie seasons statistics wise in nfl history.

 

Not guaranteed, but cmon. No way he wouldn't have made it to year 3 unless he got himself suspended a couple more times, which I am assuming he wouldnt have.

 

shut up I'm trying to fit my narrative lol

 

He possibly could have gotten hurt. He plays a dangerous game. Not saying it wasnt more probable than not but just wasnt a risk he wasnt willing to take. And if you dont believe in him long term sign him to a short term deal with the guranteed money.
